They both love books, for example, but while Yasmine burns through one every few days, Jahan needs time to process what she reads, earnestly highlighting as she goes so as not to forget the important bits. While they might share some lifestyle choices (okay, a lot of lifestyle choices), personality shifts between the two start to unfold as they walk us through their things.
As a result, they often speak about their habits and life mantras in plural: “ We eat super clean,” “ We’re both always reading,” “ We might be sleep deprived.” (Krewella is currently on tour, hitting up stops like Tomorrowland and Lollapalooza Paris over the next few months.) Naturally, they’re super close. They’re practically glued to each other at all times and as Krewella, the two have written music together, performed together, and toured together for a decade. If home is where your family is, then Jahan and Yasmine are always at home. “Is it still home,” she muses while searching for the room’s keycard, “if there is no family you can connect to a place?” Although the sisters now live in Los Angeles, Chicago is where they grew up, and walking down the hotel hallway, Yasmine suddenly realizes none of their family members live here anymore. This Chicago trip winds up being a bittersweet homecoming. Over the years, the Krewella sound has incorporated everything from pop to dubstep to their Pakistani roots, all with a constant thread of disarming, heart-on-sleeve honesty. The duo is known for numerous dance anthem hits like “ Team,” “ Alive,” and “ Live For The Night,” as well as their equally explosive performances / DJ sets. The Verge meets Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf, aka Krewella, at Chicago’s Felix Hotel. This week, we’re featuring electronic musicians (and sisters) Krewella.
What’s in Your Bag? is a recurring feature in which we ask people to tell us a bit more about their everyday gadgets by opening their bags and hearts to us.
